Cody-BGD Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I have just started the TTB application process and hope to have a distillery up and running within six months of completing the application process. I am excited to get things going. I have an old restaurant building I will be converting into my distillery with a bar and retail store attached. It's definitely a tough process, but it's an exciting one as well. If there are any distillers within New Mexico I would love for you to reach out to me. I know there are not very many of us. Cheers everyone. -Cody Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody-BGD Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 @Pour Decisions Did I read correctly that you got your federal DSP license in 14days?!?! That seems wild. I submitted about a month ago and I haven't heard a peep. Wondering if that's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Spirits Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I would recommend reaching out to them after logging in to check on the status of your permit. The TTB has been quick to respond to my clients as of late. The last three who filed, had received a response with some minor corrections to make within 2-3 weeks. If you have not logged into your account I would do that today to see if there have been any updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to do a few minor corrections and got my approval on Nov 16th. Overall very happy with the process. A lot smoother than I thought it would be. Now I just have to deal with State approval and I can already tell that is going to be a lot bigger headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear, they have been usually very responsive when either my clients or I have reached out in the past. If you need any help with state approval let me know.

MG Thermal Consulting Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Cody, welcome! If you need any cooling load sizing or general layout of cooling equipment, contact me. I just gave some advice to a AZ distiller who needed the cooling load sizing so he knew the general HP required to use for other construction budgets.

I started filling out the application as I was working on the planning aspect of things. But I took my time filling it out. I didn't submit the application until equipment was ordered and plans finalized. But not completely installed. You have to have your equipment list and serial numbers for said equipment included in the application. So I don't think you could get approved without it.

I thought you meant that you had your permits before any sort of equipment was purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Spirits Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Technically you can just submit your own serial numbers for the equipment. As long as you mark them accordingly when they come in, there should not be any issues. This allows you to have your equipment on the way especially if your manufacturer has a long lead time.
